En “Cartas del diablo a su sobrino” , CS Lewis nos presenta una perspectiva profundamente audaz y reflexiva sobre la lucha espiritual. Escritas con la astucia y el ingenio que caracterizan a su autor, estas cartas ficticias se convierten en una ventana única al conflicto eterno entre el bien y el mal, presentada desde un ángulo inesperado: las palabras de un demonio experimentado a su aprendiz. El narrador, un diablo mayor llamado Escrutopo, dirige sus consejos a su sobrino Orugario, un demonio inexperto encargado de corromper el alma de un hombre. A través de estas cartas, Lewis nos sumerge en las estrategias y tentaciones que emplea el infierno para desviar a los humanos de “el Enemigo”, que no es otro que Dios. Aquí te dejo sus cartas....y recuerda "La mayor astucia del demonio es convencerte de que sus susurros son tus propios pensamientos." CS Lewis y JRR Tolkien fueron grandes amigos y compañeros intelectuales, unidos por su amor por la literatura y su fe cristiana. CS Lewis, autor de Las crónicas de Narnia , fue un académico y apologista cristiano cuya obra combina fantasía con profundas reflexiones sobre la fe y la moral. JRR Tolkien, creador de El Señor de los Anillos , fue un filólogo apasionado por los mitos y las lenguas antiguas, que tejió un universo de fantasía épico y detallado en la Tierra Media. El libro, que fue publicado en 1942, es una recopilación de artículos publicados en el desaparecido periódico Manchester Guardian con el nombre de The Screwtape letters (Las cartas de Escrutopo). Está compuesto por treinta y una cartas supuestamente escritas por el anciano diablo Escrutopo, un demonio malvado y voraz, a su sobrino Orugario, un demonio principiante. En medio de esta trama, que es una apología cristiana, el autor desarrolla con maestría una sátira donde imagina el infierno del siglo XX como una burocracia eficiente y orgullosa, que se organiza para hacer el mal «lo mejor posible». El objetivo de los demonios es lograr la condenación para devorar a su víctima, ya que según la visión teológica de Lewis, el sumo mal consiste en ser absorbido en esencia espiritual por los demonios mayores, que toman posesión de las almas y voluntades. En caso de fracasar en la misión de lograr la condenación de su víctima, a la que llama «su Paciente», este será devorado por su tío. La trama se desarrolla en Londres durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la «víctima» es un hombre joven a quien se incita, por medio de la tentación, a trasladar hacia el terreno de la imaginación todos los valores positivos o virtudes, llevándolo a la inactividad, pues un acto positivo siempre refuerza una virtud. Sus consejos fundamentales son, pues, varios métodos para evitar la debilitación de la fe, y promover pecados como la indolencia, la acidia, la gula, la promiscuidad y la venganza, mas no algo excepcionalmente malo o perverso ya que «la ruta más segura al infierno es gradual». Critica la debilidad de los hombres, aunque en parte también critica la facilidad con la que pueden ser influenciados. En esta obra Lewis expone en un intento de apología cristiana las tentaciones que el hombre debe soportar, y proporciona un ejemplo para poder evitarlas, de esta forma el hombre no alcanzará el pecado. Por otra parte, aparecen varios diablos, personificaciones del mal. Finalmente realiza una tesis sobre las transgresiones de los seres hacia sus semejantes. Lewis dedicó este libro a su gran amigo y escritor J. R. R. Tolkien.

Tim Powers was born in Buffalo, New York, on Leap Year Day in 1952, but has lived in southern California since 1959. He graduated from California State University at Fullerton with a BA in English in 1976; the same year saw the publication of his first two novels, The Skies Discrowned and Epitaph in Rust. Tim's subsequent novels are The Drawing of the Dark, The Anubis Gates (winner of the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award and the Prix Apollo), Dinner at Deviant's Palace (winner of the Philip K. Dick Memorial Award), On Stranger Tides (the novel the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, was based on) The Stress of Her Regard, Last Call (winner of the World Fantasy Award), Expiration Date, Earthquake Weather, Declare (winner of the World Fantasy Award) and Three Days to Never. His most recent book is Hide Me Among the Graves. The Manchester Guardian called Powers “the best fantasy writer to appear in decades.” Tim has taught at the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop at Michigan State University six times and currently teaches the annual Writers of the Future workshop. He has been involved with the Contest since its early years, serving as one of the instructors (along with Algis Budrys and Orson Scott Card) at the very first official WotF workshop in Sag Harbor. He was formally inducted as a judge in 1993. Powers lives with his wife, Serena, in San Bernardino, California. “I think I've been a judge for most of the quarters in the past two decades. This means that several times a year I get a stack of manuscript photocopies via next-day mail, and take a day off from my own writing to read them all and evaluate them; this is no chore, since Dave Wolverton or K.D. Wentworth has already culled them from the total volume of submissions, and invariably there is at least one story that I'm grateful to have a chance to read. I send my verdicts in, and usually I hang on to a couple of the photocopies, just because I want to have the chance to read them again before the actual anthology is published. The stories at this point have no provenance beyond their titles—I don't know the genders or ages or addresses of the writers; and not all of them turn out to live in North America, by any means. The only thing I can be fairly sure of is that I have not read anything by any of these writers before. (Over the years, I have read a lot of subsequent books from many of them, with their names right there on the spines and their photos on the dust jacket flap—though since I'm not a very up-to-date reader, I generally don't get around to reading them until they've been nominated for Hugos or Nebulas or World Fantasy Awards.)” — Tim Powers Considered one of the most prolific writers working in modern fiction, New York Times and USA Today bestselling writer, Dean Wesley Smith published over two hundred novels and over seven hundred books in fifty years, and hundreds and hundreds of short stories. He has over thirty million copies of his books in printAt the moment he produces novels in four major series, including the time travel Thunder Mountain novels set in the old west, the galaxy-spanning Seeders Universe series, the cold case mystery series, Cold Poker Gang series, and the superhero series starring Poker Boy. During his career, Dean also wrote a couple dozen Star Trek novels, the only two original Men in Black novels, Spider-Man and X-Men novels, plus novels set in gaming and television worlds. Writing with his wife Kristine Kathryn Rusch under the name Kathryn Wesley, they wrote the novel for the NBC miniseries The Tenth Kingdom and other books for “I think this Contest has done more to help new writers achieve their dreams than anything that has come before. I know it gave me a huge push. It's wonderful to return to be a part of it again as a judge.” —Dean Wesley Smith Find out more at: deanwesleysmith.com

Stephen and Jim discuss the 1966 classic book The Long Green Fairway by the English writer Pat Ward-Thomas.  It is a wonderful collection of essays from his writing for the Manchester Guardian and Country Life Magazine from 1956-1965.

British journalist Julian Borger has carved a prominent voice in media as The Guardian's world affairs editor, but recently, he's been working to uncover a story close to his heart - his own family history - which has ties to the very newspaper he works for. In August 1938, an advertisement ran in The Manchester Guardian - now The Guardian - reading: "I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy". That boy was Julian's father - Robert Borger - then an 11-year-old Jewish boy living under Nazi rule in Austria. It was only after his dad tragically took his own life that Julian learned of his past. Julian has just released a book, I Seek A Kind Person, following the lives the advertised children of the Holocaust, and where they ended up.

Argylle by Elly Conway: There is a movie of this book opening in cinemas on 1st February which is unusual – the movie usually comes some time after the original book publication. It's been made by Apple who have reportedly invested $200 million.  It's a spy/thriller/highly entertaining story of Aubrey Argylle, a young man who has been making a living showing tourists around parts of the Golden Triangle (there's a good back story to this) when one day a plane comes down in the jungle and turns out the passengers are all CIA drug squad. He rescues them and the CIA subsequently take him on for a daring mission – to stop a sociopathic Russian billionaire who's  running for President and who has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos. It's fun, a bit silly, but very enjoyable and is possibly the start of a series.  I Seek a Kind Person by Julian Borger. The author is a journalist who discovered a few years ago that his father, who was born in Vienna, was sent to the UK during the war after his parents took out an advertisement in the Manchester Guardian, saying:  I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy, aged 11. There were several such adverts placed in the newspaper from parents desperate to get their kids out of Austria and in uncovering his father's story, Julian Borger also traces the lives of several other children who were sent at very young ages to live with complete strangers in a foreign country.  In the case of his own father, the trauma of those years never left him and blighted his adult life, but as he never talked about it his family simply didn't understand the cause of it.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WARREN CUMMINGS REMEMBERS PARKINSON First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 26th 2023 Back in August this year, the lights came down on yet another of the broadcasting giants from the younger lives of many of us, when MICHAEL PARKINSON, the person who many considered to be one of the greatest television interviewers ever, passed on at the grand old age of eighty-eight. A cornerstone of British television throughout the 1970s and beyond, “PARKY” was a no-nonsense Yorkshireman whose journalistic career took him from the Manchester Guardian via CINEMA on Granada Television, all the way to the BBC where he was finally given his eponymous chat show PARKINSON which ran from 1971 to 1982, and again from 1998 to 2007. In his own distinctive style, he interviewed many of the most famous people in the world, including many of the brightest stars from the golden era of Hollywood that he would have grown up watching in the cinemas of Barnsley, in shows that have since become some of the most memorable and valued video documents of their time. And whilst his presenting skills were utilised on radio in DESERT ISLAND DISCS, and in many television shows such as GIVE US A CLUE, meaning he has over 450 television presenting credits to his name, including a memorable acting turn in the VISION ON SOUND favourite GHOSTWATCH, he was also one of the “Famous Five” who helped set up GOOD MORNING BRITAIN in 1983. Anyway, WARREN CUMMINGS is a huge fan of dear old PARKY, and so we got together a few weeks ago and had a good old reminisce about our own memories of watching MICHAEL PARKINSON's television interviewing career, and we also talk a little about the legacy he left, and the current state of the art of the television interview.

We can't possibly know everything we should know through our own first-person research. That key truth is called by some experts as the real need of all of us for ”facts taken on trust.” And that's certainly true! But countless faulty paths are taken every moment of every day based upon supposed facts that are taken on trust. Join Kevin as we look at a world-shattering event in light of this event…and finish with a bracing challenge for all of us to the highest level of discernment! // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

A Kiwi historian is helping with the detective work linking The Guardian to 19th Century trans-Atlantic slavery. On the face of it, it would seem incongruous to associate the liberal Guardian with brutally forced unpaid chatteled labour. But in 1821 the newly founded then-Manchester Guardian, and much of the North West of England, spun on money from cotton, supplied by slavery to the textile industry, fueling the industrial revolution. Kathryn speaks with Professor Trevor Burnard, director of the University of Hull's Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation. His and fellow academics' investigation into the Guardian's founders' financial links with slavery has helped the British newspaper's mea culpa following this embarrassing outing. The Guardian has put in place a twenty million dollar decade-long programme of restorative justice for descendants of slaves and a journalism series exploring the history of transatlantic slavery and its legacies. But as Trevor argues, guilt has a long and wide-reaching arm. Beyond those who parted with cold hard cash earned on the back of slavery, anyone who wore cotton or stirred sugar into their tea benefited from it, including the abolitionists of the time.

MMU multimedia journalism students Alicia Russell and Rosa Bown join tutor Pete Murray on a walking tour around the history of radical journalism in Manchester. In this podcast, they speak to researcher Kathy Davies about the Manchester Guardian archive, to current Northern Editor Helen Pidd, also Joshi Herrmann from the Manchester Mill, and founding editor of the Manchester Meteor, Conrad Bower.

Bang To Rights is back - with a guided walking tour around some of the milestones in the history of journalism in Manchester. We start with the foundation of The Manchester Guardian in response to the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, and follow the traditions of radical journalism right up to the present day. Our thanks to Kathy Davies of Sheffield Hallam University, Helen Pidd of The Guardian, Joshi Hermann, founder of The Mill, and to Conrad Bower, co-founder of The Meteor. Presented by Dr Eleanor Shember-Critchley and Pete Murray of Man Met Uni's multimedia journalism department

Above, Elizabeth Bentley, who gave evidence at the first HUAC hearing. Pic: Library of Congress In 1948, Whittaker Chambers is Time Magazine's Senior Editor.  He is forced against his will to testify to the House Un-American Activities Committee about his past in the Communist underground.  He names seven names, but the Committee zeroes in on one of them — Alger Hiss.  With this begins the doom of both men, major climate change in American politics, and the career of a future President. Further Research: Episode 5:  The best book about the colorful House Un-American Activities Committee is Walter Goodman's “The Committee:  The extraordinary career of the House Committee on Un-American Activities” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1968).  Goodman was a liberal, mildly mocking of HUAC, but even he had to admit that 1948 was HUAC's “Vintage Year.”  Pages 247-67 concern the Hiss-Chambers hearings.   Chambers' account of his testimony is at pages 535-50 of the 1980 Regnery Gateway edition of “Witness.”  Other accounts are in Alistair Cooke (1952) at 55-59 and Weinstein (2013) at 13-18.    A lacerating review of Alistair Cooke's book (the 1950 edition) was written by the great British feminist and essayist Rebecca West, was published in the University of Chicago Law Review in 1952, and is available at https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2686&context=uclrev.  I commend Mr. Cooke's book especially for the narration of the trials, which I believe he covered for The Manchester Guardian.  His verbal sketches of the courtroom scenes — the judges, lawyers, and witnesses — are almost worthy of Henry James.  Unfortunately, however, Mr. Cooke retained so much of his English detachment that he fell for Hiss's pose as an honorable gentleman; and Cooke simply does not get the red-hot Chambers.  Cooke's courtroom descriptions are wonderful, but my opinion is that Ms. West's criticisms are correct.  By the 1952 edition of his book, which covers Hiss's claims of “forgery by typewriter” (Podcast #25), Cooke seems to have concluded that Hiss was guilty. Richard Nixon, though he was almost silent during Chambers' first testimony, recorded his impressions of Chambers in the first chapter of his 1962 book “Six Crises” (“Never . . . was a more sensational investigation started by a less impressive witness.”).  The transcript of most of HUAC's 1948 Communist hearings was published in 2020 by Alpha Editions.  “Hearings Regarding Communist Espionage in the United States Government, Hearings before the Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Eightieth Congress, Second Session, Public Law 601 (Section 121, Subsection Q(2)).”  Chambers' first testimony is at 563-84.  I find these transcripts fascinating because you see HUAC's members first believe Chambers, then Hiss, and then slowly conclude that Hiss  is, as Representative Hebert said, the greatest actor that America has ever produced. Questions:  Imagine you are Whittaker Chambers.   You are forced in 1948 to testify about your underground  Communist past.  Do you talk about the chat group only, or the spy ring, too?  The first was silly, the second was a crime.  Do you name names, including the brilliant man who was your only friend in those years? About naming the names of your co-conspirators, you had less than 24 hours notice before your testimony.  There was no time to reach out and call them.  Maybe they reformed shortly after you did and are leading upstanding lives like you are. Before Congressional committees, there are no rules of evidence.  Any question may be asked and any answer may be given.  What questions can you anticipate?  If you testify only about the chat group and you are asked point blank about spying, what answer will you give?  Reveal the crime of spying, or commit perjury?  How do you say something, something to alert the government and the public to the truth, without ruining your life and your friends' lives? Based just on this first testimony, do you find Chambers generally believable?  Totally believable?  Do you fear that, while telling the truth most of the time, he may succumb to the temptation to brighten pastel shades into primary colors to make his story more dramatic?  What is his motive to tell the truth?  What is his motive to lie?  Does he seem a reluctant witness?  Do you have a feeling that, once he got the subpoena, he thought to himself, “OK, let ‘er rip.  There's gonna be a big scene and I want to be the star”?  Do the questions and comments of the HUAC members and staffers, especially Chief Investigator Stripling, give you confidence in HUAC as a finder of fact?  What is your impression of the Acting Chairman, Karl Mundt, and of Hiss's chief defender, the racist, anti-Semite, Democrat, and ardent New Dealer from Mississippi, “Lightnin' John” Rankin?   

“I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent Boy, aged 11, Viennese of good family.” This short advert appeared in the Manchester Guardian 1938, paid for by Viennese Jew Leo Borger to save child was Julian’s father Robert. Robert escaped to Britain, and his son Julian is now a top journalist at the Guardian. He told Chris Cummins about the desperate advert that secured his existence.

0136 – Why English Is Such A Tough Language To Learn VOICE BOXOur Strange Lingo[1]The Chaos I take it you already knowOf tough and bough and cough and dough?Others may stumble, but not you,On hiccough, thorough, lough and through?Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,To learn of less familiar traps?Beware of heard, a dreadful wordThat looks like beard and sounds like bird,And dead: it's said like bed, not bead— For goodness sake don't call it deed!Watch out for meat and great and threat(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt). A moth is not a moth in mother,Nor both in bother, broth in brother,And here is not a match for thereNor dear and fear for bear and pear,And then there's dose and rose and lose —Just look them up - and goose and choose,And cork and work and card and ward,And font and front and word and sword,And do and go and thwart and cart —Come, come, I've hardly made a start!A dreadful language?

On 22 June 1918, the Manchester Guardian reported that a flu epidemic was moving through the British Isles. It was noted to be ‘by any means a common form of influenza’. Eventually, it took the lives of more than 50 million people around the world. In a special episode to mark the Guardian’s 200th anniversary, Nicola Davis looks back on the 1918 flu pandemic and how it was reported at the time. Speaking to science journalist Laura Spinney, and ex-chief reporter at the Observer and science historian Dr Mark Honigsbaum, Nicola asks about the similarities and differences to our experiences with Covid-19, and what we can learn for future pandemics.

This year marks a very special moment in the history of the Guardian. It is 200 years since the first incarnation of the newpaper, a four-page weekly, first appeared in Manchester. In honour of this we have dug very deep into our archive to bring you a piece from 100 years ago. In May 1921, the great Manchester Guardian editor CP Scott wrote a leading article to mark the centenary of the paper. The essay, published under the headline “A Hundred Years”, is still recognised around the world as the blueprint for independent journalism.

In episode 13, we're in August/Sept 1922, which means: - Manchester's first broadcast concert - The pre-BBC battles the printed press. Has the BBC got news for us? Erm... Not yet, and not easily. - The Reithian values arrive - 'to inform, educate & entertain' - except somehow they're knocking about before John Reith's even heard of broadcasting. Our guest is Andrew Barker, a former BBC producer and radio history enthusiast, who's been delving into the newspaper archives to bring us fascinating clippings from 1922. Hear how the Manchester Guardian told its readers what a radio tuner was... how Caruso, Gilbert & Sullivan and a racist song all came to the wireless that summer... and how impatient the listeners were getting for the Postmaster General to pull his finger out and press 'go' on the BBC. Plus an excerpt from a 1937 Radio Pictorial magazine courtesy of Stewart Henderson. See many such excerpts in photo form, shared to our @bbcentury pages on Facebook and Twitter.

Eva Montealegre grew up on her father’s showboat, The River Queen, docked in St. Louis. It was a hotbed of adultery, politics, delicious food and great music. Her mother, an investigative journalist, dragged Eva through every neighborhood in St. Louis from aristocratic homes to crime infested alleys. A combination of earthy artistic expression and intellectual pursuits formed Eva from a young age with in-depth engagements into the worlds of art, film, theatre and music, ultimately forging her into the LA crime author of Red Carpet Noir. Robert Eversz is the author of six novels that have been translated into 15 languages. He received an MFA from the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television and continues to study and teach film in addition to writing fiction and nonfiction. His novels include Shooting Elvis, named best crime novel of the year in Oslo’s leading daily paper, Aftenposten, and best comic novel in the Manchester Guardian; Gypsy Hearts, given a starred review by Kirkus; Killing Paparazzi, which was named among the best books of 2002 by the Washington Post Book World; Burning Garbo, a finalist for the Nero Wolfe Award; Digging James Dean, listed as an Editor’s Choice in the Boston Globe and Mystery of the Month by BookPage; and Zero to the Bone, given a starred review by Publisher’s Weekly and listed by January Magazine as one of the best books of the year.

At a Guardian Live event in Manchester, the multi-award winning crime writer, Ian Rankin, discussed his sabbatical from writing and bringing much loved detective John Rebus out of retirement for his 20th novel, Even Dogs in the Wild

Barbara Kingsolver, the best-selling, award-winning author, was recently asked to write an op-ed piece for the Manchester Guardian on the continuing controversy over the display of the Confederate Battle Flag. It took her only a day to compose her brief essay, and only a few hours for the responses to start pouring in from around the world. Join us for a thoughtful discussion with one of the world's great writers.

In the Spring of 1925 newspapers around the world carried stories that a famine had broken out in Ireland. The Manchester Guardian reported 750,000 people were at risk, a figure repeated by the Soviet Union's daily Pravda. However there is no mention of this "famine" in Irish history books so in I went to the National Archives in search of evidence. What I found was tragic details of yet another cover up. Listen to the show to find out what I discovered.If you have any questions or queries about this show you can mail me at history@irishhistorypodcast.ie or find me at Irishhistory on twitter and Irishhistorypodcast on facebook.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On New Year's Day 1886, London grocer Edwin Bartlett was discovered dead in his bed with a lethal quantity of liquid chloroform in his stomach. Strangely, his throat showed none of the burns that chloroform should have caused. His wife, who admitted to having the poison, was tried for murder, but the jury acquitted her because "we do not think there is sufficient evidence to show how or by whom the chloroform was administered." In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll learn about Edwin and Adelaide Bartlett's strange marriage and consider the various theories that have been advanced to explain Edwin's death. We'll also sample a 50,000-word novel written without the letter E and puzzle over a sure-footed American's visit to a Japanese office building.
